They'll only mutually annihilate if you bring them together...

r1269: "Thwocking, Whacking, and Pinballing are all forms of Abuse."

They're Abuse, and they're standardized, so they're Standard Abuses. 
The term 'standard' distinguishes them from any other strange kind of 
abuse we might come up with.

A total score reset *and* a 420 point jackpot? Wow.

A tax free 420, even. Hmmm....

It's only used as a two-syll word... and really I just wanted Song Form 
because I was so close to getting a Charm Win.

But then Orc Loopholed past me, and now it doesn't really matter.

I was thinking it meant that if every game ever cast in the history of 
the game was a 'yes' vote, then all props earn double points... Which 
would be kind of useless now, but would be an interesting clause to 
stick in an initial ruleset... I'll have to write that down somewhere.

I change my vote on this to YES, if it's not too late.

I voted for most of these, IIRC.
